Saturday, October 26, 1974 THE MICHIGAN DAILY r©9ce Seven GOPHERS INJURY-RIDDEN: Blui By RICK BONINO Homecoming, the Little Brown Jug, and good o1' Michigan foot- ball combine today as the un- defeated Michigan Wolverines take on an injury-riddled Min- nesota squad in Michigan Sta-, dium.I The 6-0 Wolverines hope to break a string of three straight, lackluster performances, in- cluding last week's 24-20 squeaker at Wisconsin, and the Golden Gophers may be just the team they can flex their muscles against.. The Minnesota defense will be missing at least six regulars, their quarterback is injury- prone, and they rely on a one- man running attack--not the( stuff strong resistance is made of. The inexperience of the Go- phers' young squad will also hurt, particularly against a, team with Michigan's reputa- tion. Indeed, Gopher coaches seem to have all but conceded the game to heavily-favored Michigan, despite coach Cal Stoll's statement that "We are going (to Ann Arbor) with every intention of winning." Nonetheless, Michigan coach Bo Schembechler doesn't expect to overpower the Gopher de- fense-or so he says. "We'lli just run our basic stuff," Schembechler remarked, adding, "We'll just wait and, see what they'll do to try to stop us." I Despite Schembechler's pro- tests that "We'll have trouble + just winning," the revamped 1 set and still suspect Gopher line poses an easy target for Bo's favorite weapon-the run. Michigan doesn't have its usual big, power runners this year. However, the outside speed of the current backfield could be the perfect weapon against a Minnesota defense that Stoll admits can't list quickness as their "biggest sur- plus commodity." Stoll said that the Gopher de- fense must "play above their abilities if we expect to contain that explosive Michigan of- fense." Although Schembechler prais- ed Minnesota's defensive effort in their 23-17 win over Iowa last week, the Gophers still surrend- ered 237 rushing yards to an offense that, as the season opener proved, is a far cry from Michigan's. The secondary hasn't been much better, allowing oppon- ents close to 100 passing yards per game, although this prob- ably won't induce Schembech- ler to begin throwing left and right. Still, Bo remembers that passing saved some cru- cial drives against the Bad- gers last week. On the defensive side, the Wolverines' success in capturing their seventh straight Little Brown Jug depends on their' ability to capture the Big White Jersey, number 40 to be exact, which belongs to Gopher run- ning back Rick Upchurch. Schembechler regards Up- church as a potent threat. "If he gets by the line of scrim- for mage, we haven't got anyone' who can catch him," Bo said. Upchurch runs the 40 yard dash in 4.25 seconds. The Michigan defenders will not be in top running. shape, either. Defensive end Larry Johnson, who reinjured his knee before the Wisconsin game, will again be replaced by Larry Banks. Nagging injuries have sidelined Carl Russ, and Calvin O'Neal will replace him at line- backer. If Upchurch is the key to the Gopher offense, sophomore quarterback Tony Dungy is the hand that turns him. Dungy, a High School All- American at Jackson Park- side, has guided the Gopher attack impressively - when healthy. Both Schembechler and Stoll agree that Dungy's injuries have been a major factor in the Gophers' poor showing so far this year (1-2 in the Big Ten), but, as Schembechler noted, "they were moving the ball pretty well against Iowa with him back." In last year's 34-7 Michigan debacle, Stoll stuck primarily to fullback plunges, unleashing Upchurch only six times and passing only twice in 49 plays, even though they trailed the entire game. The situation could be differ- ent this year, however, espe- cially if the Gopher ground at- tack grinds to an early halt. Minnesota has been a running club, but this is primarily due Minnesota to Dungy's absences. When healthy, Dungy will not hesi- tate to throw, as evidenced by his 18-passes per game average. Dungy may also be en-, counraged to throw by the1 rash of injuries that has struckl the Michigan secondary. Cornerman Dave Elliott will miss his second straight game, and both his replacement, Tom Drake, and wolfman DonI Dufek are "banged up," ac- cording to Schembechler. The Gopher offense won't put too many new wrinkles in their basic veer-option attack, al- though Upchurch has been known to throw an occasional option pass. It was that very play that gave the Gophers their touchdown in last year's game-but not many people can fool Schembechler twice.

Besides the Iowa City con- test, this afternoon finds Wis- consin at Indiana, Ohio State at Northwestern, while Pur- due invades East Lansing for Michigan State's homecoming. The Fighting Illini, 2-0-1 in the conference after tying MSU last week 21-21, would like to make the Hawkeyes their third Bigj Ten victim. In the next two weeks, Illinois plays OSU and Michigan. Although Illinois trounced Iowa 50-0 last year, Illini Coach Bob Blackman expects a much closer game today. "They are a vastly improved ball club," he, said about Iowa. But so is Illinois, and the Hawkeyes will have their hands full trying to stop the quarter- backing duo of Jim Kopatz and Jeff Hollenbach. The nair have' combined for 355 yards a game aid completed slightly better4 than 52 per cent of their passes. The league leading Iowa pass defense will have to prove their mettle against the Illini. A rash of injuries has hurt the Hawkeye chances. Half- back Rod Wellington is doubt- dl and qnarterback Rob Fick{ will play but not start. The Hoosier fans in Blooming-: ton expect a high-scoring affair, when Indiana takes on the wounded but still dangerous Wisconsin Badgers. After last, week's 24-20 loss to Michigan the Badgers are just about out of the conference race but as Indiana coach Lee Corso noted, "No one has stopped this club. Even against Ohio State they moved the ball." All Big Ten tailback Billy Marek, hit hard by Steve Strin- ko last week, has a bruised knee and remains a question mark for the Badgers. Other than that it's the same Wiscnn- coach John Pont. He'll behold the awesome Buckeyes to his heart's content this afternoon as his outmanned Wildcat squad hosts the No. 1 team in what could be con- sidered a criminal act of sched- uling. - A more versatile Buckeye squad travels to Evanston to- day and last year's 60 point shutout could be surpassed. In addition to the running of Archie Griffin, "Champ" Henson, Pete Johnson and Brian Baschnagel, Woody Hayes has the confer- ence' s leading passer in Cor- nelius Greene, also the leader in total offense. To their credit, the Wild- cats have been improving, but will need much more than the passing of Mitch Anderson to Scott Yelvington, .and the run- ning of fullback Jim Pooler to stop the Bucks. This week's most interesting game may be up in East Lan- sing where a victory by the Spartans (1-1-1) could put them back in the Big Ten race. State's tough defense matches up well against Purdue's versa- tile offense. The Boilermakers are averaging 387 yards a game and have a deep threat in the Mark Vitali to Larry Burton passing combo. Spartan quarter- back Charlie Baggett had a fine game against Illinois last week scoring two touchdowns and passing for 125 yards. AP ICo WLL C ,s is -Pd. Po l.
